Public Service Announcement: The City of La Grande is working on a water main relocation project which has changed the flow of the water system. When dramatic changes happen in the municipal water distribution system, it stirs up sediment that is generated in the disinfection process of the water. Water will have a dirty look but remains disinfected and free of bacteria.
It is suggested that if you encounter dirty water from your tap that you run your water until it clears up. This may take up to 15 minutes (or longer) depending on the City's overall water usage. Try to only run cold water and use an outside faucet is possible. If you have any questions, feel free to call Public Works at (541) 962-1325.
